Sternum?: Between the lower breast is the lower 1/3 of the sternum and the xiphoid process. Pain in this area can be from the stomach - gastritis, acid reflux. It can be from bone/cartilage - costochondritis (which can be caused by injury and even stress/anxiety). This one isn't dangerous but can be painful. Is the pain worse when you breath deep? Does it hurt to press in that area?
